I'm Zannatul
Cat Sitting in Long Beach, CA
I've worked at a Zoo, a butterfly house, an aquatic laboratory, and at a clam hatchery... For those I haven't met yet, my name is ZZ and I am based in the Long Beach area. I've adored cats my whole life, and love to learn about each of their own unique personalities! I worked at a TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) nonprofit in Los Angeles while in college, and have since gone on to foster kittens until we found their furever home. My own 2 boys, Clover and Daisy, were rescued from underneath a house, and their mama TNR'd to enjoy her life as a community cat. One of my favorite hobbies is taking evening walks through the neighborhood, and petting all of the sweet neighbor cats along the way.
I've worked at a Zoo, a butterfly house, an aquatic laboratory, and at a clam hatchery. What can I say, I can't stay away from baby animals! After work, I enjoy coming home to being greeted by my 2 sweet boys, singing for a treat. I love that the presence of a cat can make a house a home.
If you have any special requests, i.e. take shoes off at door, wear a mask, sanitize all surfaces touched, bring mail/packages in, etc. please let me know and I will be more than happy to accommodate! You can expect these things every time you book with me:
- Clean and refreshed food and water bowls
- Clean cat litter boxes
- Playtime for the outgoing kitties, conversation time for the ones that are shy and need a little time to come out of their shell
-Plenty of update photos and messages on how your precious fur babies are doing
Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions! I can't wait to meet you and your felines!
Learn More About Zannatul
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting with Meowtel for over two years now. Before joining the app, I have cat sat and boarded for friends, family, university, and personal referalls.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Whenever I enter the home (even my own!) I do a whistle or call out the kitties' name in a high pitched tone. For the extraverted kitties, they come running once they hear me. For the timid kitties, it alerts them that I'm in their space so they can get used to the idea of me. I have been known to coax some shy kitties out of their shell, and that is my greatest kitty sitting accomplishment!
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I always ask the same set of baseline questions: 1. food/water/litter/medication 2. house rules (shoes off, windows/rooms closed off, check mail, cleaning supplies etc.) 3. security (cameras, alarms) 4. key return
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes typically. If I'm not travelling for the holidays, I'm celebrating with my cats (and maybe yours too!)

We are so grateful to have met Zannatul! In our initial meeting and throughout her time watching our cat, Zannatul exuded kindness and genuine care and interest in our cat. Our cat can be weary of new people but right away seemed comfortable and wanted to be around Zannatul. We received pictures and updates throughout her visits, and we felt very comfortable while we were away knowing our cat was being so well cared for. I plan to contact Zannatul again when we go on any future trips!

Zannatul has cared for our two kitties twice now, and she’s been wonderful to work with. She’s warm, thoughtful, and attentive - picking up on their different personalities and being super patient with our shy boy, who can be a bit particular when it comes to eating. She follows our detailed care notes and always sends the sweetest updates and photos. Both times we’ve come home to happy, well-cared-for cats, and we’ll definitely keep working with her!

I cannot recommend Zannatul enough! ❤️ She did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our cats. Her attention to detail and genuine care were evident from the start. Even our most shy and scared kitties, who rarely come out for anyone, warmed up to her instantly, which speaks volumes about her kind and gentle nature. She followed every instruction down to the letter and went above and beyond by noticing the unique needs of each cat, curating their care to ensure they were all comfortable and happy. She even made sure our home was clean and cozy for the cats (and us!) by the time we returned. Her professionalism and love for animals earned my trust within hours. We are truly grateful for her work ethic, compassion, and the love she showed our furry babies. We feel so fortunate to have found her and will absolutely be booking her again in the future!

We recently adopted a new cat and were still in the process of adjusting our current kitties to the new sleeping arrangements. The sitter was incredibly understanding and accommodating—she even met with me again to go over the updated instructions. I was also hoping for a quiet, distraction-free weekend, and she truly respected that. She followed all instructions carefully, and I was able to be away and relax with peace of mind. I came home to a clean space and happy, relaxed kitties. I really appreciate her attention to detail and care!

Zannatul is a caring and dynamic cat caretaker. My kitties are quite shy and sweet. By the end, she had one of them entirely hanging out with her. While the other two met with her on their own terms.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Long Beach cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.
Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!

ZZ was awesome. From the time she came over to meet our 2 kittens, until the time we came back from our trip, ZZ was communicative, caring and sincerely concerned with our precious kittens. During the time she saw our girls, she took pictures, played with them (even though 1 of 2 is very shy). When there was an issue, she tried to solve it herself before asking us. Truly a great experience. We HIGHLY recommend ZZ to take care of your furry loved ones.

We have a bashful Senior calico that “ZZ” charmed and came out of her shell and trusts. this is a challenge when our calico ran away from her rehome and came to us now for over ten years (her now furever home). this is the second time with “ZZ” and the relationship is getting stronger! Thank you ZZ for what you do!

ZZ is the best!! We’ve used several cat sitters in the past, but none compare to Z. Our cats basically didn’t even miss us! She went above and beyond her duties of feeding, watering, and cleaning the cat litter. She swept up and brought in our mail & she brought the cats little treats! The best!

ZZ is so communicative and cheerful, just incredibly easy to work with. She was super loving towards my kitties and very reliable as far as following their care instructions. Both of my cats have dietary needs and are somewhat shy, but they loved her right away. I highly recommend her.

ZZ did great with our cat over the holidays. She was available and flexible when a previous cat sitter had to cancel unexpectedly, met with us and answered all of our questions beforehand, and most importantly took great care of our cat. We would be happy to have ZZ watch our cat again in the future.

Zannatul made us feel at ease from the initial conversation to all the detailed updates she gave regarding our two cats. She asks the right questions and it’s obvious she is experienced with taking care of cats. She was reliable and prompt in her communication with all of our questions and concerns. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!

Zannat is the real deal. From the first meeting, she brought treats and catnip to welcome my kitties!! And she was sooooo patient with my newest little shy/semi-feral kitten. She would hide under the bed, but Zannat was patient with her and waited for her to come out and adjust how and where she was fed. Just like my other sitter, I don't want to share her, but I know it's inevitable! :) You will not be disappointed. Looking forward to booking more travel and booking Zannat for a longer period of time. Thank you!!!!!

It's a wonderful feeling that we can leave home for a few days and fell completely secure that Zanna will take good care of our two cats, bring the newspaper and mail in, and even water the basil! Se treats our home and our cats as if they were her own. We love Zanna!

Zanna is wonderful! She takes the time and effort to make our kitties feel loved, even while we're gone. If unrelated issues come up (bringing in a package, mail, etc.), Zanna takes the initiative to make sure everything is taken care of, as if we were still home. We're grateful Zanna's care allows us to go on a vacation secure that our kitties will be happy and healthy while we're gone.
